Product Description

The Immersion Bible Studies Series takes a new approach to Bible Studies. It's about God and His Word but it's also about you - your thoughts, feelings, and faith. This study of Old Testament Kings and Prophets has 8 lessons and includes a Leader Guide. In each lesson you will prayerfully read the Scripture, reflect on it, and engage in it in three ways.

Claim Your Story - Through stories and questions, think about your life, with its struggles and joys.

Enter the Bible Story - Explore Scripture and consider what God is saying to you.

Live the Story - Reflect on what you have discovered, and put it into practice in your life.

Publisher's Description

Its never been easier to grasp the depth and importance of the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles than when reading them side-by-side in this Immersion Bible study. Timothy Cargals clear and straightforward explanations of these Scriptures along with his insightful connections to our lives today make this volume an outstanding guide in applying the lessons of these ancient books to our 21st-century faith and discipleship.

Immersion, inspired by a fresh translationthe Common English Biblestands firmly on Scripture and helps readers explore the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of their personal faith. More importantly, theyll be able to discover Gods revelation through readings and reflections.

Author Bio

Timothy B. Cargal is the Associate for Preparation for Ministry in the Office of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He has over twenty years experience in simultaneous service as a pastor and professor of biblical studies and languages in both university and seminary settings. He holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies (New Testament) from Vanderbilt University and has published a broad range of books and articles for laity, pastors, and biblical scholars.

"Immersion" led me to expect being immersed in scripture so I was surprised to find summaries of scripture given instead of reading the scripture. The questions at the beginning and end of each lesson are thought-provoking.
